Bobby Siu – författare

The everyday experiences of racialized employees are the direct and indirect by-products of systemic racism. Racism at Work analyses the interplay between prejudice and discrimination and how discriminatory potentials are embedded silently in the entire employment system, ranging from recruitment and applicant selection to performance evaluations, promotions, and terminations.This book exposes the problems of the status quo by digging deep into existing institutional structures and processes and unearthing how they perpetuate social injustice. Management consultant Bobby Siu insists that legislation, civic administration, human resources policies and procedures, and union and employee responses to racism must be re-directed and re-structured to achieve the complete elimination of racism in employment. This book also recommends concrete political actions, reform in legislation, public policies and education, organizational programs, workplace practices, and enforcement mechanisms to remove system defects and recalibrate them in a new direction. Based on research studies and jurisdictional experiences, the recommendations presented have the power to better the lives of all people in the labour force.A microcosm for the bigotry and hate baked into the fabric of our societies, this book seeks to put an end to racism in workplaces and employment practices in hopes of effecting global political change and social justice.
